The show is called “Dexter” for a reason. There isn’t any reason to watch a spin-off if Dexter is dead (by execution or killed or life in prison). I have all 8 seasons on dvd. Even named my dog Dexter. To say I love the show is an understatement. I hope Showtime is listening to the many fans who want season 2 of Dexter New Blood with Dexter alive and not as a voice from beyond. I have no interest in a spin-off without Dexter.
@@Mr_Cabes I didn't know Phillips said that. hopefully it's true and not just trying to setup a surprise.. When they asked Michael C Hall about it he was more vague. knowing that he came back to make it up for how the original series ended, doesn't make me think that he'd like to continue for another season (or more), and it seems like he wanted a proper closure more than anything. Maybe stuff changed for him or i just didn't read him very well. we'll find out in about a month.
@@Mr_Cabes Phillips said no such thing. He and Hall (and everyone else involved, including Showtime reps) have gone out of their way to avoid saying anything like that
This is getting cringe.. Just let the show end already. it's better to leave on a high note than to embarass yourself again. Which is what will happen if they continue with more. It would not make sense
@@CAPS_AMERICA The story won't be good anymore... There is no way Dexter does not get caught or killed this season. Angela basically knows at this point, Kurt is def. going to do something shocking., I mean, another season? What would they even do? The story is already naturally closing, that is good. This is all needs to end. Not be milked. Dexter has gotten away with it for like 8 season already. Like bruh, I'm tired of this. Only reason this is good, is cause finally there is tension and it is closing, 10 years from now, I want to remember this ended right and watch it again, not be forced to watch 20 fucking seasons of the some guy for some reason always getting away with it after someone has basically caught them
the show is as good as it has ever been.. the show continuing wouldnt even bother me. Its all about knowing when to stop and not just doing a full break. In the end, a full break is way better than a season 8 ending. 🤷♂️
@@bingewatcherfanatic996 And this is the right time... This would ruin the entire season if they don't end it. The whole tension and glamor of this season is that it's ending right.. Why ruin a good thing for more?
The best ending is NO ending. Dexter never gets caught. He starts to help Harrison in the same way his father helped him. Even if there is no spin off or 2nd season, this makes me feel good. I always hate shows that are forever killing people off. Just let your imagination continue.
THIS. I hope Dexter doesn't get caught and teaches Harrison the code. I'm so fucking tired of people saying that Dexter should die or go to jail but guess what....IT'S A TV SHOW and he's not real. He's a character that many of us grew up with and care for.
@@joshdeveaux6936 Actually, no. I think the interesting part is Dexter just continues to elude getting caught. He has had so many close calls it is just plain funny. I expect they will kill him off, but I think that would be a shame.
I completely disagree. I like complete endings. As much as I don't want dexter to end because I love it. It is more satisfying to not have it open ended.
what happened to the rich guy that they were protesting at the beginning? How did Kurt get his money to buy a truck stop and become rich when he was a semi truck driver? I think 25 years of picking up and prepping these girls were for the rich oil/fracking guy. How else could Kurt get the big set ups to do his killing? I think the end has something to do with the guy Audrey was protesting and refused help on the road when her car broke down. Any thoughts?
perfect ending is: he goes out into an avalanche, drops his dead son's body there and everybody thinks he's dead. In reality, he survives on the coast of Miami
Hasn't Michael C. Hall indicated that a follow up to New Blood was at least possible? I think it would be a mistake to end the possibility of further Dexter by killing him or even permanently incarcerating him. I don't understand why we think every finale has to be final. It could just close our window into the adventures of that character. Personally, I think the best ending for Dexter would have been bringing a conclusion to the major season and series storylines and literally ending the show as it began - "tonight's the night. and it's going to happen again and again." Fade to black.
I was so dreading this series when I first heard they were doing it, thinking "Oh god what kind of cock up are they going to do with it now!" But I'm so, so pleased it turned out as well as it did. Even If the ending turns out to be not my cup of tea, the majority of it has been superb.
To me the ideal ending would be that Dexter and Harrison confess to each other and make up. And just as law enforcement is closing in on them we find out they took off and we see them driving down the freeway on the run together for more "killer" adventures together. Season 2 with them evading the feds would be awesome.
In episode 1, the camera fixated for a moment on a large scar on Matt’s leg, which could have been from a metal plate inserted into his leg as a result of the boating accident which would have survived the incineration and would likely contain a serial number.
Yeah, I mentioned that in my last video. One of my viewers left a comment about it on my episode 3 recap and I thought it was a great catch. Just not sure how it ties in with the current situation other than that might mean Kurt knows that Dexter killed Matt.
It shouldn’t end, continue with season 2. The end of season 8 with him alone at a table without all the people he cared about, was like being in his own prison. No execution!!!!!
No.... It's been 10 years, he had his prison time and now he has to die and you know, allow this show to finally end.. This isn't the Walking Dead.. It has to end already Lol
@@JellyBea420 Never watched The Walking Dead so don’t know what you mean by that reference. It’s certainly not up to me to decide if it should end or not, I wish it was. We will all know the answer soon as 2 episodes left. Take care.
@@dianehenkel9088You should, might get an idea of where this is headed if yall keep asking for more seasons like you'll get the same quality of this season. I sure hope it ends after these next 2 episodes. If not, don't say I told you so after Dexter keeps getting milked.
I honestly don’t think the original ending was that bad. Dexter spent his life thinking he was not capable of love and built this family around him to help cover the fact he’s a killer, but that pretend life he built became very really and his actions caused him to lose it all. Tragic. Honestly dexter dying isn’t satisfying living a life of isolation knowing what your actions led to is worse than death IMO
Yes it was actually the most original way to go with an ending. The only other option they could have ended it in season 8 was the same thing that everybody is talking about now a. Dexter gets killed or b. Dexter goes to jail. But I think It just felt unsatisfying because the whole season leading up to that was bad and Debra was just a cool character.
Harrison is a loose cannon. Dexter is calculated & cautious. I can see the finale putting Dexter in the place of taking his own son’s life because he’s too far gone and the “code” won’t save him.
Even if it does end.... I think that after all Dex and Harrison have been through they should have a happy ending. A death of either would crush the other. Also after we've been rooting for them to come together killing one would piss me off.
Harrison found Dexter on the internet through his bowling accomplishment. Angela mentioned Iron Lake to Batista. Batista or perhaps Quinn or Masuka could look up Iron Lake, and see the same picture Harrison did, and Miami Metro could take a trip to Iron Lake
my ideal season Finale would be this: let all hell break loose at iron lake, then Dexter and Harrison should move to some place else for new adventures and storylines
When they use the title 'sins of the father' as the last title for this series, me thinks that those 'sins' are gonna catch up to him in some way or the other.
I don't think I would really like to see Dexter die adversely I would like to see him thrive with Harrison. I also don't think that the Dexter series ending was as bad as people like to make it out I think most viewers were just in shock to see Deb die and get dumped in the ocean. But Dexter surviving the boat accident is not unplausible or a bad ending.
Dexter sacrificing himself for Harrison feels like a possibility. That scenario would definitely involve Kurt. That said, I have no prediction in regard to a huge reveal or surprise.
It is going to end with Dexter killing himself. As much as I hate that ending that’s where they are going and this is why. In the early seasons of Dexter suicide was brought up multiple times. Season 1 in therapy. Season 2 with Doaks. And Harry killing himself was a big plot point. At the beginning of the show Dexter saw suicide as weak. However over time as the character evolved he learned to grow attachments to people and have loved ones in his life. His loved ones keep all dying because of his dark passenger. Harry. Rita, Deb. Dexter finally learns that the only way to protect the ones he loves is to take himself out. I believe this was the original ending to Dexter’s character arc Clyde Phillips wrote and showtime said no way. Clyde Phillips has described the finale as being shocking. Controversial. the most beautiful thing he has ever written and will blow up the internet. Harrison is going to come close to dying because of Dexter’s dark passenger and Dexter will end the cycle once and for all. His final kill will be his dark passenger thus ending himself and keeping Harrison out of harms way. End credits. As a fan I would HATE this ending. But I just know that’s where they are going with it. I am mentally preparing myself.
@@bathtubbarracuda6275 Interesting theory. I think Harry will live on with LaGuerta as a ghost companion. The spinoff will be called The Code of Maria's Code.
If Dexter dies I hope the series just ends there and they don't try to continue it with Harrison. That would be a worse choice than with how the original series ended. Well, in my humble opinion.
I don't really know what to expect this time around. I liked thinking of Dexter being out there somewhere as the Dark Defender. I don't like the idea of him locked up, either. If Harrison ends up killing Dex, then he'll have to live with that hanging over his head, so what a terrible ending. I did have a fleeting theory that Harrison & that cute reporter lady might be working together because they showed up in this town around the same time and she seems very interested in Dexter. I really don't have a clue, but I'd be cool if they continued the series on for a long time!
Exactly what I was going to say. They showed up about the same time. My theory originally was this really isnt really Harrison. This could be the crime blogger and this fake Harrison joining up to finally take Dexter down. I dont want Dexter to die or get caught. I just hope I dont regret watching this.
No I have no interest whatsoever in Dexter dying or getting caught. The whole thing behind Dexter is that he was smart and knew how to get away with it. There are serial killers in real life that never get caught so I don't see the issue with that in this conclusion. You can't have Dexter die and then have him be a ghost like Deb and Harry. Thats not comparable because he is the main character. I would just have it where Harrison has a dark passenger as well but tends to kill innocents. Dexter tries to teach him the code but he refuses to listen because his anger is too out of control that he can't follow the code and wants to hurt everyone like he said earlier in the show. Dexter doesn't wanna kill his son but ends up forcefully doing so when he kidnaps Batista the last other person he was close to. Then you can end the series completely. Some people might try to argue that it isn't as satisfying because Dexter gets away and doesn't suffer. I would respectfully disagree. Dexter does suffer in the end of that. He suffers with not only killing his son the only person that made him feel alive besides Rita, Deb or later Hannah but it also would make him feel like shit because he failed as a father and allowed Harrison to be who he was. He has to live with that for the rest of his life (or maybe not if he kills himself). That would destroy him completely. I don't get at all why anyone would wanna see him get caught. Sounds hypocritical to me and sounds like people who are still salty about Season 8 and just are looking for a logical conclusion while I will admit it is logical, it isn't the only logical one
@@dancharak6300 yeah and to me having. Dexter die is just too generic and predictable because that's how a lot of other drama crime shows end anyway. Dexter isn't like those shows. It's a little different so to make it different and stand out from the rest of the pack, why not do a different ending than what people are expecting?
@@kidz919 dude I agree. It's all I ask for an ending. I've thought about- what if he wakes up in Miami next to Deb in the hospital and none of that ever happened haha. Stupid I know.
It just makes no logical sense for Dexter not to get caught or killed at this point. Yes, Dexter is smart, but Angela already caught on, Dexter doesn't even know she has caught on. You also have to realize Dexter can longer tamper with evidence like he did at Miami Metro, it's also been 10 years, and he is making mistakes throughout the Season. In reality, Dexter should have been caught a long time ago, he is smart, but there are things he can't avoid, he didn't even know about the titanium in Matt's leg, those are thing Dexter simply can't know Lol. It's over already. Just let it end naturally. Dexter was responsible for many deaths, Laguerta, Rita, Deb, Doakes. He does in a way need to die or face punishment
Hi Pete, interesting analysis. I really don’t think Michael C Hall has any desire to continue on as Dexter & only agreed to come back for 1 good final send off. So I do believe this season is it. I’m thinking Curt gets the better of Dexter, kills him & Harrison finds out & lures Curt into a trap & gets revenge by killing Curt.
@@PetePeppers1 Also, I don't think he will be the conscious of Harrison in a potential spin-off, since they barely had any time together. Not enough to have his psyche imprinted into the mind as a voice of reason or whatever they would want to do with it.
I just don't want him to die. But Clyde did say it would be "surprising" and everyone's expecting Dexter dying so therefore it would not be surprising so perhaps he doesn't die. He will get found out though, maybe prison and becoming Harrison's mentor from there because I don't think Harrison is skitso and imagines people. The last two episode names have a hint "The Family Business" and "Sins of the Father".
Dexter dying would not be surprising at all, in fact that might be the most expected ending although not the most favoured ending. Dexter turning himself in would be very surprising, so I think that's more likely. If the point of this revival was to make up for the weak ending, then it probably would be a bad idea to have an ending that is worse than the season 8 ending.
@@robertwiley5918 It should end naturally. It's not what me or anyone wants. The reality is, if it makes sense, then good. Maybe the way he dies is shocking, or how he gets caught is shocking. I'm just glad this will end right. If they do another season, now will be back in the same thought of this possibly ending badly. This all has been good, and while it is sad it is ending, I'm happy Dexter ended right
Harrison will save his father on the table when Kurt would trying to kill him, when talking about that he know his killing history. Harrisons 1st kill, but dex taking responsibilty for murder to save son from jail, before police came. I hope so!
Maybe Dexter tells Harrison everything and Harrison accepts Dexter anyhow. Dexter’s whole story arc to me is going from believing he is an emotionless killer to realizing he is the opposite. He has the capacity for love and true empathy. Perhaps they work together to kill Kurt and Harrison ends up killing him, using a kill room Dexter helped him set up. Then the big twist is after Harrison kills Kurt he finds out Kurt killed Dexter earlier. Would be a call-back to what happened when Trinity killed Rita in season 4
It is my believe that Dexter will end up turning his self in to his girlfriend, who then in turn will hand him over to the Miami Metro Police Department with whom we'll see many if not at least significant portion of the cast from previous season return and have them expose Dexter as The Bay Harbor Butcher. However, I also believe that once the news is out of who Dexter really is, a signficant amount of people will see him as for what he has always wanted them to see him as, a part of them and as a "heroic" figure, after all, Dexter is a serial killer who kills serial killers, once information about his M.O. and profile is released and just like with any other serial criminals I'm sure he'll get a good portion of fans/groupies. But when it comes to Harrison I believe is going to be him who kills Kurt, but Dexter will take the fall, making Harrison see that his greatest deed as a father was to protect his son, to lure away the darkness away from him and simbolically show him that should he decide to follow on his path he'll end up in jail, after that Harrison either goes away or will be at the moment of Dexter's execution, joined by Cody, Astor and the ghosts of many of his victims.
Doakes didn't have a significant amount of supporters when he was exposed as the Bay Harbor Butcher, actually the opposite. So I don't see why that would change now for Dexter, adding the fact that. because of his actions, some innocent people such as Doakes, Rita, Laguerta or Debra ended dying as well. No, Dexter being exposed wouldn't end with him being recognized as a hero or anything like that.
Dexter is not the villain of the series. Not of the original series, not of this one. If anything, he's on a redeeming arc; in New Blood it's almost like he's a recovering addict who fell off the wagon. I think one of the possible endings would be Dexter getting killed by whilst saving his son. That would complete Dexter's redeeming arc and perhaps, on his deathbed, he'd confess the truth about him to Harrison.
Exactly what I was thinking. Makes sense especially with the whole thing of them talking about how Dexter was found when he was a baby and the fact that Harrison had the same thing happen to him
Dexter will come clean to Harrison about the dark passenger. Harrison who has yet to of killed by that point will take Dexters life for his first kill. Dexter will then become Harrison’s voice
my thoughts are that with the way things are leading right now, this series might end with Dexter being found out, and Molly putting the final pieces of the Bay Harbor Butcher puzzle together and revealing who he is to the world. I just feel that Clyde has more than one series up his sleeve. This season was done to rehabilitate the character and right the wrongs of the season 8. Then it leads into the true final series of Dexter, on the run. Bay Harbor arc 2.0.
That's too much of a stretch... It would be dumb to continue on after all this. Like he kinda is on the run right now, hiding from the world. They really going for that again? Doubful
I just desperately don't want Dexter to die, like I don't even have a way of explaining it or making a good argument out of it, i just want him to keep on living!!
You and me both! I would have never watched this redo if I thought I was going to have to watch Dexter Die. That for me would not be fixing the original ending. The part I hated worse about the original ending was that Deb died and that Harrison left with the poisoner Hannah.
There is no reason to kill off Dexter, the story arc of Harry's code is the key to his salvation. There is no difference between Dexter and Batman at this point. He needs to stay alive to be a father to Harrison and teach him to hone his darkness. He cant teach someone from the grave. The dark passenger is reverberations from the subconscious, not a ghost teacher. The only satisfying ending is Dexter stays alive with Harrison. Doakes doesn't need to be vindicated, he was a killer before Dexter got to him, and Lila killed him anyhow, then Dexter took her out to vindicate him, Its been done already. I watch all your reviews, but don't see eye to eye with you on this theory. Cheers
What’s the one ending nobody expects to happen? Could it be that Deb is wrong Dexter has changed. All this bickering between him and Harrison finally comes to end, they bond over the inside darkness they share. And wait for it @PetePeppers Dexter teaches Harrison a new code, a code where they use to not kill anymore. They live in peace. The code Harry never taught Dexter, one he’s learned over the last 10 years. After all he didn’t kill for 10 years. Harrison becomes Dexters new symbolistic White buck and Dexter finally gets to love his son in peace like he always wanted too. I know everyone’s like kill Dexter or Dexter has to die but what if? . Angela may get close to figuring him out and the show is making him look sloppy, but we all know Dexter always wins in the end. The title of the last episode is “Sins of the Father.” What if it’s Harry’s sin, and Dexter finally rights that wrong with a new code and a new bond with Harrison. Something to ponder.
@@pattiebee9703 I agree somewhat but EVERYONE is predicting this ending. To me that doesn't make it a shock factor. Even watching the original 8 seasons- I always thought he'd be caught in the end. I just hope its something completely out of left field where Dexter lives.
i could see kurt killing harrison, dexter killing kurt, then outta nowhere will come sgt, doakes( who unbegnownst to us survived the explosion at the cabin)and he will catch dexter.
Six Feet Under type ending...Dexter leaves everyone behind, lives into his eighties or nineties, never gets caught, dark passenger emerges here and there...he keeps having to move on
i think harrison became the new trinity and killed hannah as his dreams of his mothers death continued to haunt him. he may already know who dexter is as the BHB but has been hoping dexter would reveal his authentic self to him. however he is growing dissappointed with his father's reluctance to be the real 'dexter morgan' with him and reveal the truth of his dark passenger. kurt however is helping him to indulge in this darkness slowly but surely. breaking his opponents arm infront of dexter was a sign that i know and i am waiting for you to address me. he needed to see the reactions from both dexter and kurt. his loyalty as a son was defined by their reactions in that moment. in the end, i could see dexter having to kill kurt and harrison even perhaps, molly & angela (though not in his ritualistic manner) all in a final bloody spree before skipping town. by killing angela and molly; more for self preservation, he has broken his code in a new way and broken new ground or spilled "new blood". series ends with dexter alive with this new blood on his hands. the protagonist in me would like for him to end up alone, bearded, in another log cabin except this time frying up some eggs with the final shot as the ketchup or hot sauce spills across them. he chews anxiously, putting jim lindsey to rest and welcoming back his darkness. fade to black.
I am leaning this way too. I could see Dexter kill them all. Like "New blood" referring to his new rules/code. But I could also see Kurt killing Molly. IDK its driving me nuts haha
@@dancharak6300 haha, me too. obviously overthinking ways to keep dexter winning! it can go in so many directions. my saving grace is that i know that michael c. hall wanted this to happen and made it happen. i'm really looking forward to something i didnt see coming. i dont think dexter needs to die which seems to be the popular opinion.
Kurt kidnapped Chief Bishop's daughter Dexter helps search Harrison finds Chief Bishop's daughter Dexter kills Kurt Harrison watches learns Dexter's real nature Chief Bishop discovers Dexter's true identify as BHB After Harrison and Dexter recuse the Chief's daughter. Chief Bishop decides along with her daughter it's best Dexter and Harrison leave Iron Lake.
Dexter killed his brother and sort of killed his sister so I think Dexter should kill off Harrison. I can't stand Harrison. He found Dexter just to make his life miserable. The fact that he found Dexter isn't very plausible in the first place.
@@peachpi4025 no I believe he took his own life because of the burden Dexter caused him. That's why I can't see Dexter killing himself like others suggest..he has to live.
The writing is on the wall. They are clearly leading up to Dexter getting caught. It would be quite disappointing to bring Dexter back just to have him get caught.
I personally think that the original ended well, with Dexter faking his death and just moving on and changing his name. Dexter being killed off feels cheap to me. Having Dexter caught and going to jail for life feels wrong because it renders Dexter incompetent, which would also be cheap. Though in this series, I can see Dexter dying while saving his son or trying to take the blame in order to save his son. But my ideal ending would be for Dexter & his son just parting ways, or having it end where Dexter becomes a mentor to his son to teach him what Dexter knows, and continuing his life with the hot female cop. But that's just me. Dexter means well and only kills bad people, and Dexter dying or going to jail just feels cheap and like an insult to the character, imho. But I feel the original writer wants to kill off Dexter, which to me is disappointing.
If they want to continue the series with Harrison then they can't have him kill Dexter. People would reject that spinoff. So the most likely scenario is him sacrificing himself to save his son. It plays into what Deb said too about him always wanting to be seen as a hero. I think the Molly stuff is a red herring, making the audience think the Bay Harbor Butcher stuff will come up. Not enough time for that, and I think the resolution involves Kurt and everything in this timeline.
I just keep fixating on the words shocking and inevitable. I feel like those are the biggest clues but can’t figure out exactly what the inevitable thing would be. Harrison killing him? Him killing Harrison? Sacrificing himself to save Harrison from either prison by taking a fall, or outright dying for his son? Also I don’t think suicide (for real this time😉) would be completely off the table. He’s broken the code multiple times in the past and would therefore fit the code. They could rationalize some greater good sort of argument where in order to end him causing any more pain he gets rid of the monster right in front of him who he should have killed all along, since no matter how far or long he runs for his problems still always seem to have a way of catching up and finding him. It would be a real twist to have the monster put itself down instead of needing to be stopped by an outside force. If anyone could make it work it’s Clyde and the writers. Whatever they do in the end I, like Pete, hope it is something conclusive at least. That’s what bugged me about the last finale, especially because it was juxtaposed with being so close to the Breaking Bad finale which was the polar opposite, where Walt does pay for his crimes, he redeemed himself to whatever extent he still could beforehand and then died. I feel like Dexter should have ended in a similar way to that. Typically anti-hero stories end with them paying in some way, otherwise you as the viewer feel cheated and like they got away with it which negates the whole point of the moral conflict you feel throughout the show, that ethical grey area where you’re not sure what you might do in the same spot, you know they have to pay the price in the end even if you might sympathize with them a bit, at least that’s how I feel. I blame ShowTime for that ending both for swapping show-runners/all the writers with the Nurse Jackie crew four seasons before (WHY?! Worst decision ever, made both shows worse, and seemed totally random and unnecessary), and I also blame them for painting the writers into a corner and further restricting their options by specifically forbidding them from killing Dexter. Silver linings though, if it wasn’t for that unsatisfactory ending then we probably wouldn’t have this awesome New Blood series today because if it had a final ending and he was dead then people wouldn’t have felt like it needed to come back to “prove something” or make it up to the fans. The most we would have gotten would’ve probably been something like one of those 10 or 20 year reunion interviews with the main cast on some morning talkshow like you see for stuff like Back To The Future or whatever, or MAYBE if we were really lucky a one-off movie that told a flashback story that could’ve took place some time in between two of the previous seasons, like a Rogue One if you will. Dexter deserves better is all I know, hopefully they stick the landing this time around. Edit- fixed typo/streamlined format.
I’m definitely getting a feel of this tug of war game between Dexter and Kurt with Harrison in the middle. Perhaps Kurt is trying to groom Harrison to be like him seeing as he told him that he has potential, or he is suspicious of “Jim Lindsay” and wants to eventually kill Harrison to make Dexter hurt. I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone finds out that Dexter is really the Bay Harbor Butcher and the season ends there setting up season 2 where he’s on the run (similar to what they were doing with season 2 and season 7 but they never committed to Dexter being found out and on the run).
@@dancharak6300 I doubt that is the case. Idk why Kurt went into the furnace looking for something. Unless he was using it too. So far it looks like Kurt does his killing, then sells or gives the bodies to the billionaire.
I feel that Harrison will get his first official kill at the end of the season and it will be Kurt. What happens to Dexter? He could get arrested at the end of the season, maybe Dexter takes the blame for Harrison
@@lenawagenfuehr53 it makes the most sense for Kurt and Dex to have a final encounter but it would be most meaningful if Harrison defends him and kills Kurt to save his dad
Dexter, Son & The New Serial Killer... creates a new "Trinity Killer Team". Leading to season 2, 3, 4, 5... eventually ending in an old peoples home where they vet and dispatch other residents.
I don’t want Dexter to die, I do want to see him get caught eventually because seeing the heartbreak/confusion of anger on Angel’s face would be an incredible character moment. If and when Dexter does get caught, I don’t want his good deeds to be overlooked. Sure he’s killed a lot of people but he’s also helped and saved a lot people at the same time too. I would like to see Julia Stiles character from season 5 make a comeback in some capacity.
I don't know exactly how Dexter should end but I know one thing, 'Dexter' cannot end without Dexter being exposed for being the BHB. They just cannot end without it, if he gets caught or not is secondary for me but he should be exposed!!
I'd like to see Dexter outed and forced to go on the run again purely for selfish reasons as I really don't want it to ever end. He's literally the greatest ever character. As long as he doesn't get killed thus, allowing for future spins-offs.
When Dexter was good, season 1-4 and even 7 for me.. I used to always ask myself.. “how is Dexter gonna get out of this”.. and this season is giving me those feels.. I’m engaged each week, hope it sticks the landing.
When I rewatched the whole series before this one, I noticed how much I liked season 7 more than I remembered. Isaak was a very compelling and complex villain and I thought it was great change for the series (not having just ''another'' serial killer).
The series undoubtedly ends with Batista showing up and spouting Dokes’ iconic line “surprise motherfucka”. Miami metro takes down dexter as the BHB, but not before he can teach the code to Harrison. MM finally gets revenge for dokes and Dexter gets to leave his legacy with his son. Whatever happens I hope they don’t continue without Michael C Hall
I have Dexter killing Harrison in the finale. That’s the ‘inevitable’ part, for me. He realises he’s going to turn out like him, only Harrison will take innocent lives. He’s shown a willingness to severely hurt ‘innocent’ lives already. How we get there exactly, is yet to be revealed… but Dexter lives up to his ‘code’, family or not. He took out his brother so I don’t see a problem with him taking out his son. Whether that’s a satisfactory conclusion is another story and up to others to determine.
Killing Harrison will be to much I think. What you describe, is putting him in the situation similar to Dr.Vogel and her son in season 8, which make a lot of sense. Though, if they're going to take this route with Dex, I think he'll either try to help make Harrison "normal", or train him to be like him and teach him the code (cause Harrison does feel regret for his actions, and doesn't want to hurt innocent people).
@@orga7012 I haven’t seen any regret/remorse in him yet. Yes, he’s admitted he wants to hurt people and that’s acknowledging a problem, but it seems he can’t control his impulses/urges. They have occurred after some provocation though or, in the first instance, on hearing that he’s messed up. I can see what I’ve speculated ’blowing up the internet.’ I’ve seen people theorise it going through other way, Harrison realising who Dexter is and what he does. Maybe they’ll have a heated exchange and Harrison takes him out. Could go either way or neither, we’ll see. It’s finely balanced, which is great and all. Keeps everyone guessing and talking.
I get New Blood, but Harrison isn’t the character that Dexter is, I don't think he could carry the show I wouldn't watch it I don't even know Harrison! 🤣
Dexter is my favorite character of all series that I have watched. Him dying some reasonable way would be so sad for me but I think it's best ending for the show. I was so happy when they announced New Blood, till last week or two I hoped that there will be more seasons of New blood but I'm pretty sure they will end it in this season. I don't like the spin-off idea tho, it doesn't suit well in my opinion.
I love the show, but I think I’m gonna have to wait 3 weeks and just watch the last 3 in a row. Molly is really getting on my nerves. There’s no way she would have known he recorded them. Plus he saved her life. Harrison and the tantrums every time Dexter tries to talk to him. Driving me nuts. And in the episode 8 promo Miles is talking about the needle mark in his neck. Never in 8 seasons has that EVER came up. Why now??? Dexter should die protecting Harrison, maybe jumping in front of Kurts rifle as the cops close in on Kurt for taking Harrison. They can’t expose Dexter.
I know you dismissed it, but I think you may have nailed it by saying Harrison being an imposter the whole time. The story of Kurt the serial killer in Iron Lake goes national, and at the same time it breaks that Dexter Morgan is still alive. Seeing this the real Harrison along with Hannah (still alive) show up! Maybe by this time the imposter Harrison has killed someone now fitting Dexter’s code. So he kills him. And the real Harrison is a well adjusted great kid. Super unlikely of course, but THAT would be a huge twist
With a new season, 10 in 2022 and beyond. Dexter New blood should not end yet with this one extra series, number 9 with only 10 episodes in it. May America's favorite serial killer live on. One more thing I might add as I'm not one of the people that were dissatisfied with the way Dexter ended, or we would not be getting to watch America's favorite serial killer in action again. Also heard a little buzz, don't know if it's true or not, that season 9 will not be the last season of Dexter, so hopefully it might not be over yet. But it is looking that way, the way things are going anything possible, we're here aren't we.
I thought the answer was in the title "new blood". A passing of the torch with dexter sacrificing himself for his son or something like that. He's already shown previously his ability to take on and work with others in the past. And redemption is a human condition that works well in the storyline. Redemption is related to revenge but not necessarily vengenance.
Thanks Pete that was a great analysis. I do not think Dexter will live and the idea I like the best you proposed is Dexter somehow sacrificing himself, perhaps to save Harrison. ‘Breaking The Internet’ is a huge goalpost. We shall see.👏
@@PetePeppers1 I hear you. Setting up huge expectations not the wisest thing. Even if Hannah is not actually dead, no big deal, or that Harrison killed her which many suspect already.
my predictions: 1. Dexter is NOT going to get killed. 2. Dexter is going to kill Kurt, and Harrison will help. 3. Dexter is going to reveal to Harrison that he is the Bay Harbor Butcher. 4. The final scene will be Dexter cruising around in a new city looking for his next victim, and Harrison just might be in the car with him.
I have a feeling that Showtime is watching the ratings and obviously they are through the roof. That being said I honestly think this season will end with Harrison taking over his father's legacy. Like father like son. Again just a hunch, but who knows? Merry Christmas everyone and thank you Pete Peppers for such an awesome TH-cam channel. I subscribed the first time I saw one of your videos. :)
I hope Showtime is watching the ratings. Ratings are high but viewers aren’t interested in a season 2 if it is without Dexter. And not a voice from beyond the grave either.
I was just thinking how the show will sometimes mimic real life headlines. So with the new DNA technology I wonder if Dexter will be caught similar to how the Golden State killer was caught with DNA evidence because of a passionate true crime writer keeping the case alive. Just an idea.
I feel like there is more to Hannah's story other than she just died from cancer. She could still be alive or he could have killed her... I bet she taught him how to poison someone.
Kurt will be Dexter and Harrisons first joint kill as Dexter introduces Harrisons to the code in Ep10. Harrison has to control his dark passenger and Dexter also know this and since he had expierenced the same tradegy as Harrison when he was a toddler, Dexter knows how to deal with the dark passenger.
Spoiler alert! I think that Molly cannot investigate anything further bc she has been already murdered by Kurt which had happened after he stalked her, while she was waiting outside the restaurant/bar (ep7). That explains her disapparance from episode 8 and prob her death will become public in ep9. Angela will have flashbacks due her traumatic expierence with Iris and she let Dexter do what he has to do bc after ep 8 it became inevitable that she knows Dexters tribe to kill. As I stated in my first comment, i think, that Kurt will be the first kill of Dexter and Harrison since Dexter wants to teach him the code (final scene ep8). Nevertheless, I am already looking forward to ep9 like a little child :D
Nothing will top the execution table idea that Clyde had. That would have been truly epic and the best series finale of all time. That being said, I'm just enjoying the new season.
They rushed it so much, it needed another season at least. After years of Dexter being meticulous he ends up in a back end town and makes silly mistakes and gets caught by a cop in the middle of a quiet town... The scene where he asked her to turn the camera off was weird... Dexter suddenly has a big epiphany that he is a bad guy after his son makes one comment and decided it's a good idea to shoot him and it was a bit cliche and very abrupt with his inner feelings of love for the first time with his son wanting to kill him... He breaks his code when killing Logan/an innocent for no reason because he needed to see his son who wasn't in any danger. They really wanted to pivot quick on Dexters character ey with this one, at this point I started to lose it and was like, what is happening right now, this is all going to shit... Batista runs off with his folder never to be seen again.... Dexter could have pinned this on Kurt as Dexter's character is smart enough and there was no conclusive evidence against him which led to the attack in jail to be so random and out of character... The scene with Logan eating a burger with Harrosin and making some farewell supportive comment to make the audience feel something for Logan. This set up the attack in the jail cell with the death, to get people to be shocked about it as he was a 'good guy' which then prompted Harrison to go against his father as he broke his own code and suddenly he's just like every other killer. This was very predictable and the main rushed sequence. "It's one of the reasons I chose to come to this town, good people" - proceeds to kill everyone for no reason. I get what they tried to do in setting up Harrison to become the new dexter, but how they got there made no sense and broke characters. Everything that happened in the last half an hour didn't feel like it was part of the previous 9 episodes. Bring Dexter back for another season!
I want him to realize that he can take a different path than what Harry taught him. If he actually dealt with his feelings in a healthy way, he wouldn’t have the dark passenger. He could work with Angela to catch serial killers and teach Harrison how to control the dark passenger instead of indulging it. Although an ending where he sacrifices himself for Harrison would be great.
They should end it with dexter going home to Miami to show Harrison the code but show either Angela or her daughter in the tub like trinity would then we get season 2 in miami
The show is called “Dexter” for a reason. There isn’t any reason to watch a spin-off if Dexter is dead (by execution or killed or life in prison). I have all 8 seasons on dvd. Even named my dog Dexter. To say I love the show is an understatement. I hope Showtime is listening to the many fans who want season 2 of Dexter New Blood with Dexter alive and not as a voice from beyond. I have no interest in a spin-off without Dexter.
I doubt they’ll kill dexter. Phillips said they left it open for another season
@@Mr_Cabes I didn't know Phillips said that. hopefully it's true and not just trying to setup a surprise.. When they asked Michael C Hall about it he was more vague. knowing that he came back to make it up for how the original series ended, doesn't make me think that he'd like to continue for another season (or more), and it seems like he wanted a proper closure more than anything. Maybe stuff changed for him or i just didn't read him very well. we'll find out in about a month.
You do understand that if they already filmed Dexter's death, that no amount of feedback from viewers is going to matter
@@Mr_Cabes Phillips said no such thing. He and Hall (and everyone else involved, including Showtime reps) have gone out of their way to avoid saying anything like that
Dexter must die to end the story.
It shouldn't end, we want another Season.
its not gunna happen just accept it😂
This is getting cringe.. Just let the show end already. it's better to leave on a high note than to embarass yourself again. Which is what will happen if they continue with more. It would not make sense
@@JellyBea420 as long as the cast is great and the story is good, let there be another 10 more seasons after new blood!!!!
@@CAPS_AMERICA The story won't be good anymore... There is no way Dexter does not get caught or killed this season. Angela basically knows at this point, Kurt is def. going to do something shocking., I mean, another season? What would they even do? The story is already naturally closing, that is good. This is all needs to end. Not be milked. Dexter has gotten away with it for like 8 season already. Like bruh, I'm tired of this. Only reason this is good, is cause finally there is tension and it is closing, 10 years from now, I want to remember this ended right and watch it again, not be forced to watch 20 fucking seasons of the some guy for some reason always getting away with it after someone has basically caught them
@@JellyBea420 There should be a twist or something! I really don't want Dexter to end, I like that he now has an accomplice in Harrison!
I wouldn't be upset if they decided to keep the show going.
Agree certain shows have to end at the right time
But what if it pisses off a few loud normies who want it to end? Do you want that?
the show is as good as it has ever been.. the show continuing wouldnt even bother me. Its all about knowing when to stop and not just doing a full break. In the end, a full break is way better than a season 8 ending. 🤷♂️
So they can milk and ruin the ending again....
@@bingewatcherfanatic996 And this is the right time... This would ruin the entire season if they don't end it. The whole tension and glamor of this season is that it's ending right.. Why ruin a good thing for more?
Torn between my desire for a solid ending vs my desire to see this excellent show continue
I don’t want it to over extend it’s run. But this was so good it would hurt for it to just be one season
Let it continue with her sister saved by a miracle . Both of them marry and having kids.
I vote solid ending all the way. The only reason they did this in the first place was for a solid ending. I don't need to see a 60-year-old Dexter
If they kill off Dexter, I'll be mad they didn't just leave it alone.
@@PhantomsDesire why?
The best ending is NO ending. Dexter never gets caught. He starts to help Harrison in the same way his father helped him. Even if there is no spin off or 2nd season, this makes me feel good. I always hate shows that are forever killing people off. Just let your imagination continue.
THIS. I hope Dexter doesn't get caught and teaches Harrison the code. I'm so fucking tired of people saying that Dexter should die or go to jail but guess what....IT'S A TV SHOW and he's not real. He's a character that many of us grew up with and care for.
But that wouldn't break the internet right? I don't want Dexter dying either. I want season 2
Don’t you think it would be interesting for him to finally get caught? He everyone in Miami metro would react? If he just keeps going nothing changes
@@joshdeveaux6936 Actually, no. I think the interesting part is Dexter just continues to elude getting caught. He has had so many close calls it is just plain funny. I expect they will kill him off, but I think that would be a shame.
I completely disagree. I like complete endings. As much as I don't want dexter to end because I love it. It is more satisfying to not have it open ended.
what happened to the rich guy that they were protesting at the beginning? How did Kurt get his money to buy a truck stop and become rich when he was a semi truck driver? I think 25 years of picking up and prepping these girls were for the rich oil/fracking guy. How else could Kurt get the big set ups to do his killing? I think the end has something to do with the guy Audrey was protesting and refused help on the road when her car broke down. Any thoughts?
perfect ending is: he goes out into an avalanche, drops his dead son's body there and everybody thinks he's dead. In reality, he survives on the coast of Miami
If you think Dexter will end after this season then you don't know how greedy Hollywood works.
Hasn't Michael C. Hall indicated that a follow up to New Blood was at least possible? I think it would be a mistake to end the possibility of further Dexter by killing him or even permanently incarcerating him.
I don't understand why we think every finale has to be final. It could just close our window into the adventures of that character. Personally, I think the best ending for Dexter would have been bringing a conclusion to the major season and series storylines and literally ending the show as it began - "tonight's the night. and it's going to happen again and again." Fade to black.
I like the way you think! Damn well said!
I like that idea!!!
So basically a "Sopranos" ending. I feel like there are still people pissed about that one, but it's an option.
Man that's what I thought too hell of a great idea
that would be a perfect ending
It should end with a Masuka cameo and him making an inappropriate joke
Plzzzzzz
..in the Killer Podcast !!?
Miss Masuka!!!
I was so dreading this series when I first heard they were doing it, thinking "Oh god what kind of cock up are they going to do with it now!" But I'm so, so pleased it turned out as well as it did. Even If the ending turns out to be not my cup of tea, the majority of it has been superb.
To me the ideal ending would be that Dexter and Harrison confess to each other and make up. And just as law enforcement is closing in on them we find out they took off and we see them driving down the freeway on the run together for more "killer" adventures together. Season 2 with them evading the feds would be awesome.
This isn't a Disney movie
@@randomguy3000 you think 2 serial killers running from the fbi sounds like a Disney movie?
@@randomguy3000 no shit. The new adventures would be serial killing
@@MuddyGamingLive your ending sucks
@@joshdeveaux6936 lmfao
Dexter teaches Harrison the code. Harrison see Dexter spiraling and can't uphold the code so Harrison kills him because he has to keep the code
In episode 1, the camera fixated for a moment on a large scar on Matt’s leg, which could have been from a metal plate inserted into his leg as a result of the boating accident which would have survived the incineration and would likely contain a serial number.
Yeah, I mentioned that in my last video. One of my viewers left a comment about it on my episode 3 recap and I thought it was a great catch. Just not sure how it ties in with the current situation other than that might mean Kurt knows that Dexter killed Matt.
Yep this comes back to bite Dexter, in episode 7 you will found out…
and it did. now we have 1 episode remaining and it looks like Dexter will be arrested
My god you crazy son of a gun, how did you guess that lol
There's also the theory of Kurt finding out Dexter killed Matt, and in return he kills Harrison.
Sounds too similar to season 4s ending imo
@@Sean-bz8ri good point
Sounds possible after seeing ep 7.
Still lame though.....Dexter is way smarter than Kurt.
This season just doesn't feel like a final season to me it feels like a reboot.
Good call it doesn't feel final at all and its almost over theres just alot of hemming and hawing
Agreed
It shouldn’t end, continue with season 2. The end of season 8 with him alone at a table without all the people he cared about, was like being in his own prison. No execution!!!!!
Phillips said they left it open for another season
@@Mr_Cabes I hope so.
No.... It's been 10 years, he had his prison time and now he has to die and you know, allow this show to finally end.. This isn't the Walking Dead.. It has to end already Lol
@@JellyBea420 Never watched The Walking Dead so don’t know what you mean by that reference. It’s certainly not up to me to decide if it should end or not, I wish it was. We will all know the answer soon as 2 episodes left. Take care.
@@dianehenkel9088You should, might get an idea of where this is headed if yall keep asking for more seasons like you'll get the same quality of this season. I sure hope it ends after these next 2 episodes. If not, don't say I told you so after Dexter keeps getting milked.
I honestly don’t think the original ending was that bad. Dexter spent his life thinking he was not capable of love and built this family around him to help cover the fact he’s a killer, but that pretend life he built became very really and his actions caused him to lose it all. Tragic. Honestly dexter dying isn’t satisfying living a life of isolation knowing what your actions led to is worse than death IMO
I completely agree
Yes it was actually the most original way to go with an ending. The only other option they could have ended it in season 8 was the same thing that everybody is talking about now a. Dexter gets killed or b. Dexter goes to jail. But I think It just felt unsatisfying because the whole season leading up to that was bad and Debra was just a cool character.
Harrison is a loose cannon. Dexter is calculated & cautious. I can see the finale putting Dexter in the place of taking his own son’s life because he’s too far gone and the “code” won’t save him.
Even if it does end.... I think that after all Dex and Harrison have been through they should have a happy ending. A death of either would crush the other.
Also after we've been rooting for them to come together killing one would piss me off.
Anti-heroes don't get happy endings. Deep down Dexter has always known his life would end in violence or getting caught
doesn't mean that this is the time where he gets killed or caught. Dex has plenty of killing left in him
Peace! Since Harry asked Detective Mathews to look after his children; I’ve theorized that maybe Matthews has known about Dexter as the BHB all along?
Harrison found Dexter on the internet through his bowling accomplishment. Angela mentioned Iron Lake to Batista. Batista or perhaps Quinn or Masuka could look up Iron Lake, and see the same picture Harrison did, and Miami Metro could take a trip to Iron Lake
If Dexter die, people will complain, if Dexter be arrested, people will complain. Any final they do people will complain because they are unbearable
my ideal season Finale would be this: let all hell break loose at iron lake, then Dexter and Harrison should move to some place else for new adventures and storylines
Hahahahahahhaha, how PG-13
Did no one notice the Twin Peaks Easter egg? “Damn fine cup of coffee.”
When they use the title 'sins of the father' as the last title for this series, me thinks that those 'sins' are gonna catch up to him in some way or the other.
My gut feeling is that harrison will be the one to kill him for some reason
Dexter passes the code down to son. Dexter dies perhaps at Harrison hand and then we see Harrison with Dexter playing the role of Dex dead Father/Deb.
I think Dexter telling Harrison his secret would be a mistake. Harrison tells every damn thing.
Yess. I agree. He was the one to out Dexter in the first place. He is such a rookie at this.
I don't think I would really like to see Dexter die adversely I would like to see him thrive with Harrison.
I also don't think that the Dexter series ending was as bad as people like to make it out I think most viewers were just in shock to see Deb die and get dumped in the ocean. But Dexter surviving the boat accident is not unplausible or a bad ending.
Dexter sacrificing himself for Harrison feels like a possibility. That scenario would definitely involve Kurt. That said, I have no prediction in regard to a huge reveal or surprise.
It is going to end with Dexter killing himself. As much as I hate that ending that’s where they are going and this is why. In the early seasons of Dexter suicide was brought up multiple times. Season 1 in therapy. Season 2 with Doaks. And Harry killing himself was a big plot point. At the beginning of the show Dexter saw suicide as weak. However over time as the character evolved he learned to grow attachments to people and have loved ones in his life. His loved ones keep all dying because of his dark passenger. Harry. Rita, Deb. Dexter finally learns that the only way to protect the ones he loves is to take himself out. I believe this was the original ending to Dexter’s character arc Clyde Phillips wrote and showtime said no way.
Clyde Phillips has described the finale as being shocking. Controversial. the most beautiful thing he has ever written and will blow up the internet.
Harrison is going to come close to dying because of Dexter’s dark passenger and Dexter will end the cycle once and for all. His final kill will be his dark passenger thus ending himself and keeping Harrison out of harms way. End credits.
As a fan I would HATE this ending. But I just know that’s where they are going with it. I am mentally preparing myself.
@@bathtubbarracuda6275 Interesting theory. I think Harry will live on with LaGuerta as a ghost companion. The spinoff will be called The Code of Maria's Code.

@@bathtubbarracuda6275 I wish I didn't read this. It sucks.
If Dexter dies I hope the series just ends there and they don't try to continue it with Harrison. That would be a worse choice than with how the original series ended. Well, in my humble opinion.
Harrison dies at the hands of Kurt Caldwell.
Nope
My guess is that Harrison kills someone and then Dexter has to sacrifice himself and take the blame for it somehow
I don't really know what to expect this time around. I liked thinking of Dexter being out there somewhere as the Dark Defender. I don't like the idea of him locked up, either. If Harrison ends up killing Dex, then he'll have to live with that hanging over his head, so what a terrible ending. I did have a fleeting theory that Harrison & that cute reporter lady might be working together because they showed up in this town around the same time and she seems very interested in Dexter. I really don't have a clue, but I'd be cool if they continued the series on for a long time!
Exactly what I was going to say. They showed up about the same time. My theory originally was this really isnt really Harrison. This could be the crime blogger and this fake Harrison joining up to finally take Dexter down. I dont want Dexter to die or get caught. I just hope I dont regret watching this.
It is way too obvious for him to die and he leaves no evidence I mean if Special agent Lundy didn't catch him. Angela will? That would be stupid
No I have no interest whatsoever in Dexter dying or getting caught. The whole thing behind Dexter is that he was smart and knew how to get away with it. There are serial killers in real life that never get caught so I don't see the issue with that in this conclusion. You can't have Dexter die and then have him be a ghost like Deb and Harry. Thats not comparable because he is the main character. I would just have it where Harrison has a dark passenger as well but tends to kill innocents. Dexter tries to teach him the code but he refuses to listen because his anger is too out of control that he can't follow the code and wants to hurt everyone like he said earlier in the show. Dexter doesn't wanna kill his son but ends up forcefully doing so when he kidnaps Batista the last other person he was close to. Then you can end the series completely. Some people might try to argue that it isn't as satisfying because Dexter gets away and doesn't suffer. I would respectfully disagree. Dexter does suffer in the end of that. He suffers with not only killing his son the only person that made him feel alive besides Rita, Deb or later Hannah but it also would make him feel like shit because he failed as a father and allowed Harrison to be who he was. He has to live with that for the rest of his life (or maybe not if he kills himself). That would destroy him completely. I don't get at all why anyone would wanna see him get caught. Sounds hypocritical to me and sounds like people who are still salty about Season 8 and just are looking for a logical conclusion while I will admit it is logical, it isn't the only logical one
Dude spot on. I couldn't agree more!!!!
@@dancharak6300 yeah and to me having. Dexter die is just too generic and predictable because that's how a lot of other drama crime shows end anyway. Dexter isn't like those shows. It's a little different so to make it different and stand out from the rest of the pack, why not do a different ending than what people are expecting?
@@kidz919 dude I agree. It's all I ask for an ending. I've thought about- what if he wakes up in Miami next to Deb in the hospital and none of that ever happened haha. Stupid I know.
I have read all of the theories in the comments and this is the best by farrrr
It just makes no logical sense for Dexter not to get caught or killed at this point. Yes, Dexter is smart, but Angela already caught on, Dexter doesn't even know she has caught on. You also have to realize Dexter can longer tamper with evidence like he did at Miami Metro, it's also been 10 years, and he is making mistakes throughout the Season. In reality, Dexter should have been caught a long time ago, he is smart, but there are things he can't avoid, he didn't even know about the titanium in Matt's leg, those are thing Dexter simply can't know Lol. It's over already. Just let it end naturally. Dexter was responsible for many deaths, Laguerta, Rita, Deb, Doakes. He does in a way need to die or face punishment
No ending. Go for another four or five seasons and have part of the cast relocate to Miami
Hi Pete, interesting analysis. I really don’t think Michael C Hall has any desire to continue on as Dexter & only agreed to come back for 1 good final send off. So I do believe this season is it. I’m thinking Curt gets the better of Dexter, kills him & Harrison finds out & lures Curt into a trap & gets revenge by killing Curt.
Yeah, he's never flat out said it but I got the sense that Michael C Hall was willing to come back to give the character an end.
@@PetePeppers1 Also, I don't think he will be the conscious of Harrison in a potential spin-off, since they barely had any time together. Not enough to have his psyche imprinted into the mind as a voice of reason or whatever they would want to do with it.
This a good one
Kurt will not get the better of Dexter
I just don't want him to die. But Clyde did say it would be "surprising" and everyone's expecting Dexter dying so therefore it would not be surprising so perhaps he doesn't die. He will get found out though, maybe prison and becoming Harrison's mentor from there because I don't think Harrison is skitso and imagines people.
The last two episode names have a hint "The Family Business" and "Sins of the Father".
Dexter dying would not be surprising at all, in fact that might be the most expected ending although not the most favoured ending. Dexter turning himself in would be very surprising, so I think that's more likely. If the point of this revival was to make up for the weak ending, then it probably would be a bad idea to have an ending that is worse than the season 8 ending.
@@robertwiley5918 It should end naturally. It's not what me or anyone wants. The reality is, if it makes sense, then good. Maybe the way he dies is shocking, or how he gets caught is shocking. I'm just glad this will end right. If they do another season, now will be back in the same thought of this possibly ending badly. This all has been good, and while it is sad it is ending, I'm happy Dexter ended right
Harrison will save his father on the table when Kurt would trying to kill him, when talking about that he know his killing history. Harrisons 1st kill, but dex taking responsibilty for murder to save son from jail, before police came. I hope so!
Maybe Dexter tells Harrison everything and Harrison accepts Dexter anyhow. Dexter’s whole story arc to me is going from believing he is an emotionless killer to realizing he is the opposite. He has the capacity for love and true empathy. Perhaps they work together to kill Kurt and Harrison ends up killing him, using a kill room Dexter helped him set up. Then the big twist is after Harrison kills Kurt he finds out Kurt killed Dexter earlier. Would be a call-back to what happened when Trinity killed Rita in season 4
It is my believe that Dexter will end up turning his self in to his girlfriend, who then in turn will hand him over to the Miami Metro Police Department with whom we'll see many if not at least significant portion of the cast from previous season return and have them expose Dexter as The Bay Harbor Butcher. However, I also believe that once the news is out of who Dexter really is, a signficant amount of people will see him as for what he has always wanted them to see him as, a part of them and as a "heroic" figure, after all, Dexter is a serial killer who kills serial killers, once information about his M.O. and profile is released and just like with any other serial criminals I'm sure he'll get a good portion of fans/groupies.
But when it comes to Harrison I believe is going to be him who kills Kurt, but Dexter will take the fall, making Harrison see that his greatest deed as a father was to protect his son, to lure away the darkness away from him and simbolically show him that should he decide to follow on his path he'll end up in jail, after that Harrison either goes away or will be at the moment of Dexter's execution, joined by Cody, Astor and the ghosts of many of his victims.
Interesting! Gravitate more to this than other ending predictions here.
Doakes didn't have a significant amount of supporters when he was exposed as the Bay Harbor Butcher, actually the opposite. So I don't see why that would change now for Dexter, adding the fact that. because of his actions, some innocent people such as Doakes, Rita, Laguerta or Debra ended dying as well. No, Dexter being exposed wouldn't end with him being recognized as a hero or anything like that.
@@naxosm94 Families of his victims’ victims might celebrate him.
Dexter is not the villain of the series. Not of the original series, not of this one. If anything, he's on a redeeming arc; in New Blood it's almost like he's a recovering addict who fell off the wagon.
I think one of the possible endings would be Dexter getting killed by whilst saving his son. That would complete Dexter's redeeming arc and perhaps, on his deathbed, he'd confess the truth about him to Harrison.
Harrison is not likable enough to carry a spin-off as the lead character.
What's in the barrels? The embalmed corpses of runaways?
The show is called “Dexter New Blood” personally, I feel Harrison will take on Dexter’s routes and go down the line his father is on.
Exactly what I was thinking. Makes sense especially with the whole thing of them talking about how Dexter was found when he was a baby and the fact that Harrison had the same thing happen to him
I don't think so he's not a killer he's just an angry kid
@@cleigh113 then why was he carrying a blade in his pocket?
@@kidz919 Yes. We don't know if Dexter's interpretation of the event is accurate. He could have been wrong
Dexter will come clean to Harrison about the dark passenger. Harrison who has yet to of killed by that point will take Dexters life for his first kill. Dexter will then become Harrison’s voice
It should have ended but not like that. What a disappointing end.
my thoughts are that with the way things are leading right now, this series might end with Dexter being found out, and Molly putting the final pieces of the Bay Harbor Butcher puzzle together and revealing who he is to the world. I just feel that Clyde has more than one series up his sleeve. This season was done to rehabilitate the character and right the wrongs of the season 8. Then it leads into the true final series of Dexter, on the run. Bay Harbor arc 2.0.
Dexter will kill Molly. End of Story ....😁
That's too much of a stretch... It would be dumb to continue on after all this. Like he kinda is on the run right now, hiding from the world. They really going for that again? Doubful
Why end it? Give it another season.
I just desperately don't want Dexter to die, like I don't even have a way of explaining it or making a good argument out of it, i just want him to keep on living!!
You and me both! I would have never watched this redo if I thought I was going to have to watch Dexter Die. That for me would not be fixing the original ending. The part I hated worse about the original ending was that Deb died and that Harrison left with the poisoner Hannah.
It would be a crime if there isnt a season 2
As long as Dexter doesn't die. It would be a terrible way to end it.
I don't want dexter dying! new blood has been brilliant and i want season 2 of it
There is no reason to kill off Dexter, the story arc of Harry's code is the key to his salvation. There is no difference between Dexter and Batman at this point. He needs to stay alive to be a father to Harrison and teach him to hone his darkness. He cant teach someone from the grave. The dark passenger is reverberations from the subconscious, not a ghost teacher. The only satisfying ending is Dexter stays alive with Harrison. Doakes doesn't need to be vindicated, he was a killer before Dexter got to him, and Lila killed him anyhow, then Dexter took her out to vindicate him, Its been done already. I watch all your reviews, but don't see eye to eye with you on this theory. Cheers
What’s the one ending nobody expects to happen? Could it be that Deb is wrong Dexter has changed. All this bickering between him and Harrison finally comes to end, they bond over the inside darkness they share. And wait for it @PetePeppers Dexter teaches Harrison a new code, a code where they use to not kill anymore. They live in peace. The code Harry never taught Dexter, one he’s learned over the last 10 years. After all he didn’t kill for 10 years. Harrison becomes Dexters new symbolistic White buck and Dexter finally gets to love his son in peace like he always wanted too. I know everyone’s like kill Dexter or Dexter has to die but what if? . Angela may get close to figuring him out and the show is making him look sloppy, but we all know Dexter always wins in the end. The title of the last episode is “Sins of the Father.” What if it’s Harry’s sin, and Dexter finally rights that wrong with a new code and a new bond with Harrison. Something to ponder.
@@pattiebee9703 I agree somewhat but EVERYONE is predicting this ending. To me that doesn't make it a shock factor. Even watching the original 8 seasons- I always thought he'd be caught in the end. I just hope its something completely out of left field where Dexter lives.
Nice. If only
i could see kurt killing harrison, dexter killing kurt, then outta nowhere will come sgt, doakes( who unbegnownst to us survived the explosion at the cabin)and he will catch dexter.
Would be out of control and awesome haha
Please don't kill Dexter :(
Six Feet Under type ending...Dexter leaves everyone behind, lives into his eighties or nineties, never gets caught, dark passenger emerges here and there...he keeps having to move on
i think harrison became the new trinity and killed hannah as his dreams of his mothers death continued to haunt him.
he may already know who dexter is as the BHB but has been hoping dexter would reveal his authentic self to him. however he is growing dissappointed with his father's reluctance to be the real 'dexter morgan' with him and reveal the truth of his dark passenger.
kurt however is helping him to indulge in this darkness slowly but surely. breaking his opponents arm infront of dexter was a sign that i know and i am waiting for you to address me. he needed to see the reactions from both dexter and kurt. his loyalty as a son was defined by their reactions in that moment.
in the end, i could see dexter having to kill kurt and harrison even perhaps, molly & angela (though not in his ritualistic manner) all in a final bloody spree before skipping town. by killing angela and molly; more for self preservation, he has broken his code in a new way and broken new ground or spilled "new blood".
series ends with dexter alive with this new blood on his hands.
the protagonist in me would like for him to end up alone, bearded, in another log cabin except this time frying up some eggs with the final shot as the ketchup or hot sauce spills across them. he chews anxiously, putting jim lindsey to rest and welcoming back his darkness.
fade to black.
I am leaning this way too. I could see Dexter kill them all. Like "New blood" referring to his new rules/code. But I could also see Kurt killing Molly. IDK its driving me nuts haha
@@dancharak6300 haha, me too. obviously overthinking ways to keep dexter winning!
it can go in so many directions. my saving grace is that i know that michael c. hall wanted this to happen and made it happen.
i'm really looking forward to something i didnt see coming. i dont think dexter needs to die which seems to be the popular opinion.
@@dionfitzgerald7543 I hope MCH didn't agree to do this and in return has the character killed off
First rule of code: don’t get caught. Can see Angela & Molly having to go.

Dexter killed his brother and sort of killed his sister so I think Dexter should kill off Harrison. I can't stand Harrison. He found Dexter just to make his life miserable. The fact that he found Dexter isn't very plausible in the first place.
My thoughts too!
Dext killed Harry, too, didn’t he?
@@peachpi4025 no I believe he took his own life because of the burden Dexter caused him. That's why I can't see Dexter killing himself like others suggest..he has to live.
@@dancharak6300 Good point!
The writing is on the wall. They are clearly leading up to Dexter getting caught. It would be quite disappointing to bring Dexter back just to have him get caught.
I personally think that the original ended well, with Dexter faking his death and just moving on and changing his name. Dexter being killed off feels cheap to me. Having Dexter caught and going to jail for life feels wrong because it renders Dexter incompetent, which would also be cheap. Though in this series, I can see Dexter dying while saving his son or trying to take the blame in order to save his son. But my ideal ending would be for Dexter & his son just parting ways, or having it end where Dexter becomes a mentor to his son to teach him what Dexter knows, and continuing his life with the hot female cop. But that's just me. Dexter means well and only kills bad people, and Dexter dying or going to jail just feels cheap and like an insult to the character, imho. But I feel the original writer wants to kill off Dexter, which to me is disappointing.
If they want to continue the series with Harrison then they can't have him kill Dexter. People would reject that spinoff. So the most likely scenario is him sacrificing himself to save his son. It plays into what Deb said too about him always wanting to be seen as a hero. I think the Molly stuff is a red herring, making the audience think the Bay Harbor Butcher stuff will come up. Not enough time for that, and I think the resolution involves Kurt and everything in this timeline.
I watched the last episode and I am very disappointed
Theory, Dexter dies while sacrificing himself to kill Kurt and save his son
I just keep fixating on the words shocking and inevitable. I feel like those are the biggest clues but can’t figure out exactly what the inevitable thing would be. Harrison killing him? Him killing Harrison? Sacrificing himself to save Harrison from either prison by taking a fall, or outright dying for his son? Also I don’t think suicide (for real this time😉) would be completely off the table. He’s broken the code multiple times in the past and would therefore fit the code. They could rationalize some greater good sort of argument where in order to end him causing any more pain he gets rid of the monster right in front of him who he should have killed all along, since no matter how far or long he runs for his problems still always seem to have a way of catching up and finding him. It would be a real twist to have the monster put itself down instead of needing to be stopped by an outside force. If anyone could make it work it’s Clyde and the writers.
Whatever they do in the end I, like Pete, hope it is something conclusive at least. That’s what bugged me about the last finale, especially because it was juxtaposed with being so close to the Breaking Bad finale which was the polar opposite, where Walt does pay for his crimes, he redeemed himself to whatever extent he still could beforehand and then died. I feel like Dexter should have ended in a similar way to that. Typically anti-hero stories end with them paying in some way, otherwise you as the viewer feel cheated and like they got away with it which negates the whole point of the moral conflict you feel throughout the show, that ethical grey area where you’re not sure what you might do in the same spot, you know they have to pay the price in the end even if you might sympathize with them a bit, at least that’s how I feel.
I blame ShowTime for that ending both for swapping show-runners/all the writers with the Nurse Jackie crew four seasons before (WHY?! Worst decision ever, made both shows worse, and seemed totally random and unnecessary), and I also blame them for painting the writers into a corner and further restricting their options by specifically forbidding them from killing Dexter.
Silver linings though, if it wasn’t for that unsatisfactory ending then we probably wouldn’t have this awesome New Blood series today because if it had a final ending and he was dead then people wouldn’t have felt like it needed to come back to “prove something” or make it up to the fans. The most we would have gotten would’ve probably been something like one of those 10 or 20 year reunion interviews with the main cast on some morning talkshow like you see for stuff like Back To The Future or whatever, or MAYBE if we were really lucky a one-off movie that told a flashback story that could’ve took place some time in between two of the previous seasons, like a Rogue One if you will. Dexter deserves better is all I know, hopefully they stick the landing this time around.
Edit- fixed typo/streamlined format.
Dexter should never end. This is one of the best shows out there 😣😩.
I’m definitely getting a feel of this tug of war game between Dexter and Kurt with Harrison in the middle. Perhaps Kurt is trying to groom Harrison to be like him seeing as he told him that he has potential, or he is suspicious of “Jim Lindsay” and wants to eventually kill Harrison to make Dexter hurt. I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone finds out that Dexter is really the Bay Harbor Butcher and the season ends there setting up season 2 where he’s on the run (similar to what they were doing with season 2 and season 7 but they never committed to Dexter being found out and on the run).
Kurt's gonna kill Harrison guaranteed
Isn't he technically already on the run and hiding? Lol, guy is literally in a fictional New York town Lol
@@TripleTreuViet how are you feeling after watching ep9?😂😂
If Molly is researching the butcher, shouldn't she go to say somewhere like ... MIAMI!?!?!?!
I suggested to my wife too. Unless Kurt knows of Dexter's true identity and wants to kill Molly to have Dexter for himself? IDK
@@dancharak6300 I doubt that is the case. Idk why Kurt went into the furnace looking for something. Unless he was using it too. So far it looks like Kurt does his killing, then sells or gives the bodies to the billionaire.
@@macturner2196 good point. Yes so many questions it gives me anxiety haha
I feel that Harrison will get his first official kill at the end of the season and it will be Kurt. What happens to Dexter? He could get arrested at the end of the season, maybe Dexter takes the blame for Harrison
I get that vibe too...Kurt comes for Dexter and gets axed by Harrison.
@@lenawagenfuehr53 it makes the most sense for Kurt and Dex to have a final encounter but it would be most meaningful if Harrison defends him and kills Kurt to save his dad
Didn’t Harrison get his first kill with high school kid. Harrison was aggressor, right?
Dexter, Son & The New Serial Killer... creates a new "Trinity Killer Team". Leading to season 2, 3, 4, 5... eventually ending in an old peoples home where they vet and dispatch other residents.
I don’t want Dexter to die, I do want to see him get caught eventually because seeing the heartbreak/confusion of anger on Angel’s face would be an incredible character moment. If and when Dexter does get caught, I don’t want his good deeds to be overlooked. Sure he’s killed a lot of people but he’s also helped and saved a lot people at the same time too. I would like to see Julia Stiles character from season 5 make a comeback in some capacity.
At least they didnt fuck it up like breaking bad last shitty movie or series or episode whatever the fuck that was
I don't know exactly how Dexter should end but I know one thing, 'Dexter' cannot end without Dexter being exposed for being the BHB. They just cannot end without it, if he gets caught or not is secondary for me but he should be exposed!!
Same him being killed is empty and void of any meaning .
I don't like series who kill off the lead character as they did with Jax in Sons of Anarchy. Always leave it open for a future series.
My thoughts as well
Agree
I'd like to see Dexter outed and forced to go on the run again purely for selfish reasons as I really don't want it to ever end. He's literally the greatest ever character. As long as he doesn't get killed thus, allowing for future spins-offs.
I don’t want it to end. At least 3 or 4 more seasons……………….PLEASE
When Dexter was good, season 1-4 and even 7 for me.. I used to always ask myself.. “how is Dexter gonna get out of this”.. and this season is giving me those feels.. I’m engaged each week, hope it sticks the landing.
When I rewatched the whole series before this one, I noticed how much I liked season 7 more than I remembered. Isaak was a very compelling and complex villain and I thought it was great change for the series (not having just ''another'' serial killer).
@@bengirard1984 You hit it on the nail sir. He was a great character and badass
The series undoubtedly ends with Batista showing up and spouting Dokes’ iconic line “surprise motherfucka”. Miami metro takes down dexter as the BHB, but not before he can teach the code to Harrison. MM finally gets revenge for dokes and Dexter gets to leave his legacy with his son. Whatever happens I hope they don’t continue without Michael C Hall
Love this! But nah, they’ll have a lady make discovery and Miami’s ladies didn’t survive.
Would be cool though to see Batista with Joey a standing beside him.
I have Dexter killing Harrison in the finale. That’s the ‘inevitable’ part, for me. He realises he’s going to turn out like him, only Harrison will take innocent lives. He’s shown a willingness to severely hurt ‘innocent’ lives already.
How we get there exactly, is yet to be revealed… but Dexter lives up to his ‘code’, family or not. He took out his brother so I don’t see a problem with him taking out his son. Whether that’s a satisfactory conclusion is another story and up to others to determine.
Killing Harrison will be to much I think. What you describe, is putting him in the situation similar to Dr.Vogel and her son in season 8, which make a lot of sense. Though, if they're going to take this route with Dex, I think he'll either try to help make Harrison "normal", or train him to be like him and teach him the code (cause Harrison does feel regret for his actions, and doesn't want to hurt innocent people).
I disagree. Dexter is the one who's going to die. They're setting up Harrison as the new Dexter.
@@orga7012
I haven’t seen any regret/remorse in him yet. Yes, he’s admitted he wants to hurt people and that’s acknowledging a problem, but it seems he can’t control his impulses/urges. They have occurred after some provocation though or, in the first instance, on hearing that he’s messed up. I can see what I’ve speculated ’blowing up the internet.’ I’ve seen people theorise it going through other way, Harrison realising who Dexter is and what he does. Maybe they’ll have a heated exchange and Harrison takes him out. Could go either way or neither, we’ll see. It’s finely balanced, which is great and all. Keeps everyone guessing and talking.
I get New Blood, but Harrison isn’t the character that Dexter is, I don't think he could carry the show I wouldn't watch it I don't even know Harrison! 🤣
@@isarmawinter1816 I agree. There isn’t a show without Dexter.
I'm leaning on the side of Dexter and Harrison tag teaming it as serial killers.
God I hope so
Dexter is my favorite character of all series that I have watched. Him dying some reasonable way would be so sad for me but I think it's best ending for the show. I was so happy when they announced New Blood, till last week or two I hoped that there will be more seasons of New blood but I'm pretty sure they will end it in this season. I don't like the spin-off idea tho, it doesn't suit well in my opinion.
I love the show, but I think I’m gonna have to wait 3 weeks and just watch the last 3 in a row. Molly is really getting on my nerves. There’s no way she would have known he recorded them. Plus he saved her life. Harrison and the tantrums every time Dexter tries to talk to him. Driving me nuts. And in the episode 8 promo Miles is talking about the needle mark in his neck. Never in 8 seasons has that EVER came up. Why now??? Dexter should die protecting Harrison, maybe jumping in front of Kurts rifle as the cops close in on Kurt for taking Harrison. They can’t expose Dexter.
I disagree I want to see him found out
Agreed and Maybe Kurt is stalking her now because he wants to eliminate her and face off with Dexter himself? IDK
The only possible ending is....another couple seasons of Dex.
Dexter teaches Harrison the code, then Harrison kills Dexter because he fits the code
Show isn't over yet but as of right now id feel scammed if this was only 1 season.
They said it was a limited event series from the beginning though.
I'm aware
I know you dismissed it, but I think you may have nailed it by saying Harrison being an imposter the whole time. The story of Kurt the serial killer in Iron Lake goes national, and at the same time it breaks that Dexter Morgan is still alive. Seeing this the real Harrison along with Hannah (still alive) show up! Maybe by this time the imposter Harrison has killed someone now fitting Dexter’s code. So he kills him. And the real Harrison is a well adjusted great kid. Super unlikely of course, but THAT would be a huge twist
It doesn't fit. Harrison acknowledges the letter that Dex mailed to Hannah. Dexter doesn't dispute it.
With a new season, 10 in 2022 and beyond. Dexter New blood should not end yet with this one extra series, number 9 with only 10 episodes in it. May America's favorite serial killer live on. One more thing I might add as I'm not one of the people that were dissatisfied with the way Dexter ended, or we would not be getting to watch America's favorite serial killer in action again. Also heard a little buzz, don't know if it's true or not, that season 9 will not be the last season of Dexter, so hopefully it might not be over yet. But it is looking that way, the way things are going anything possible, we're here aren't we.
I thought the answer was in the title "new blood". A passing of the torch with dexter sacrificing himself for his son or something like that. He's already shown previously his ability to take on and work with others in the past. And redemption is a human condition that works well in the storyline. Redemption is related to revenge but not necessarily vengenance.
Thanks Pete that was a great analysis. I do not think Dexter will live and the idea I like the best you proposed is Dexter somehow sacrificing himself, perhaps to save Harrison. ‘Breaking The Internet’ is a huge goalpost. We shall see.👏
Yeah, not sure the breaking the internet comment was a good idea. We'll see.
@@PetePeppers1 I hear you. Setting up huge expectations not the wisest thing. Even if Hannah is not actually dead, no big deal, or that Harrison killed her which many suspect already.
@@Ninetythreezereos can’t argue with that logic
my predictions:
1. Dexter is NOT going to get killed.
2. Dexter is going to kill Kurt, and Harrison will help.
3. Dexter is going to reveal to Harrison that he is the Bay Harbor Butcher.
4. The final scene will be Dexter cruising around in a new city looking for his next victim, and Harrison just might be in the car with him.
I have a feeling that Showtime is watching the ratings and obviously they are through the roof. That being said I honestly think this season will end with Harrison taking over his father's legacy. Like father like son. Again just a hunch, but who knows? Merry Christmas everyone and thank you Pete Peppers for such an awesome TH-cam channel. I subscribed the first time I saw one of your videos. :)
I hope Showtime is watching the ratings. Ratings are high but viewers aren’t interested in a season 2 if it is without Dexter. And not a voice from beyond the grave either.
I was just thinking how the show will sometimes mimic real life headlines. So with the new DNA technology I wonder if Dexter will be caught similar to how the Golden State killer was caught with DNA evidence because of a passionate true crime writer keeping the case alive. Just an idea.
In the back of my mind I keep wondering, “did Harrison kill Hannah?”
I feel like there is more to Hannah's story other than she just died from cancer. She could still be alive or he could have killed her... I bet she taught him how to poison someone.
Kurt will be Dexter and Harrisons first joint kill as Dexter introduces Harrisons to the code in Ep10. Harrison has to control his dark passenger and Dexter also know this and since he had expierenced the same tradegy as Harrison when he was a toddler, Dexter knows how to deal with the dark passenger.
Nah...there are the loose ends of Molly and Angela to tie up. Molly's got theories on the Bay Harbor Butcher and Angela's not too far behind.
Spoiler alert!
I think that Molly cannot investigate anything further bc she has been already murdered by Kurt which had happened after he stalked her, while she was waiting outside the restaurant/bar (ep7). That explains her disapparance from episode 8 and prob her death will become public in ep9. Angela will have flashbacks due her traumatic expierence with Iris and she let Dexter do what he has to do bc after ep 8 it became inevitable that she knows Dexters tribe to kill. As I stated in my first comment, i think, that Kurt will be the first kill of Dexter and Harrison since Dexter wants to teach him the code (final scene ep8). Nevertheless, I am already looking forward to ep9 like a little child :D
".. her absence from ep8" (regarding Molly not showing up in ep8)
Nothing will top the execution table idea that Clyde had. That would have been truly epic and the best series finale of all time. That being said, I'm just enjoying the new season.
They rushed it so much, it needed another season at least.
After years of Dexter being meticulous he ends up in a back end town and makes silly mistakes and gets caught by a cop in the middle of a quiet town...
The scene where he asked her to turn the camera off was weird...
Dexter suddenly has a big epiphany that he is a bad guy after his son makes one comment and decided it's a good idea to shoot him and it was a bit cliche and very abrupt with his inner feelings of love for the first time with his son wanting to kill him...
He breaks his code when killing Logan/an innocent for no reason because he needed to see his son who wasn't in any danger. They really wanted to pivot quick on Dexters character ey with this one, at this point I started to lose it and was like, what is happening right now, this is all going to shit...
Batista runs off with his folder never to be seen again....
Dexter could have pinned this on Kurt as Dexter's character is smart enough and there was no conclusive evidence against him which led to the attack in jail to be so random and out of character...
The scene with Logan eating a burger with Harrosin and making some farewell supportive comment to make the audience feel something for Logan. This set up the attack in the jail cell with the death, to get people to be shocked about it as he was a 'good guy' which then prompted Harrison to go against his father as he broke his own code and suddenly he's just like every other killer. This was very predictable and the main rushed sequence.
"It's one of the reasons I chose to come to this town, good people" - proceeds to kill everyone for no reason.
I get what they tried to do in setting up Harrison to become the new dexter, but how they got there made no sense and broke characters.
Everything that happened in the last half an hour didn't feel like it was part of the previous 9 episodes.
Bring Dexter back for another season!
I want him to realize that he can take a different path than what Harry taught him. If he actually dealt with his feelings in a healthy way, he wouldn’t have the dark passenger. He could work with Angela to catch serial killers and teach Harrison how to control the dark passenger instead of indulging it.
Although an ending where he sacrifices himself for Harrison would be great.
I like the first part of your theory.
They should end it with dexter going home to Miami to show Harrison the code but show either Angela or her daughter in the tub like trinity would then we get season 2 in miami
Id love that. I miss the Miami vibe so damn bad
